The mystery of the car wash heart

First there was this:

PAW PAW — In what the town’s police chief called a “bizarre” incident, the owner of a car wash found a heart Monday lying in one of the manual wash bays.

Now police are trying to determine if the organ found at Soapy’s Car Wash, 621 W. Michigan Ave., belongs to a human or an animal.

Then this story came along:

PAW PAW — A local hunter claims the heart found at Soapy’s Car Wash on West Michigan Avenue belongs to a deer he shot recently, Paw Paw police said.

But police are still awaiting the results of DNA tests to determine whether the organ found Dec. 15 is in fact the heart of a man or of a beast.

Police tracked down a hunter — a Paw Paw-area man they are not identifying — who claimed he planned to give the heart to a friend.

And then this story came along to give us the official word:

PAW PAW — Paw Paw’s police chief said a heart found at a car wash in the southwestern Michigan village belonged to a deer. Investigators had been trying to determine the organ’s origin since Dec. 15, when the owner of Soapy’s Car Wash found it in the corner of a manual wash bay.

First, how weird would it be to go to a car wash and see a heart lying on the ground?!

Then, I like that the hunter guy claimed he was planning on giving it to a friend. Was someone like, “Hey, while you’re out, can you pick up some milk, paper towels and a human-like heart?”

Next, I like that people started to get suspicious of the hunter and think that maybe, just maybe, it was a human heart. Sure, he seems normal, but what if this “hunter” actually hunts humans like some bad action movie? Better investigate just to be sure.

Upon reading this, I also flashed on the idea of the heart making it’s way to the lost and found at the car wash. Like, there’s a box with an old cellphone, a couple dashboard trinkets, a single glove, and what appears to be a human heart.

The internet never disappoints when it comes to weird news stories.
